Shalwy

The interior of the rear chamber viewed from between the segmenting jambs.
This chamber is 2.8m long and narrows from 2.6m wide at the front to 2m at the rear.
Several corbels are visible between the side and back wall orthostats and the capstone, these stones
are only a fraction of the original compliment, but they still bear the weight of the huge roofstone, so we were
very happy that the excavators had chosen to leave their steel support beam in place.
